Instructions
Prep - Work:
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Here is how I cooked. I bought 4 cups of water to boil by adding one tsp of sesame oil and ¼ tsp of salt. The package instruction mentioned 12 minutes of cooking time. I let it cook for 10 minutes and then turned off the heat. I let the noodles stay in hot water for two minutes and then drained the hot water and ran it through the cold water.
Cut the green onions and set aside.
Peel and cut the ginger and garlic finely.
Steps:
Heat a pan or wok and add the peanut oil. Ensure you are cooking on high heat.
Add the green onions, ginger, and garlic. Saute on high heat for a couple of minutes.
Now reduce the heat and then add the soy sauce, sriracha, peanut butter and ⅓ tsp of salt.
Mix them. Allow the peanut butter to melt and combine with other ingredients.
Now increase the heat to high and add the cooked noodles.
Mix gently and ensure the noodles are coated evenly with the salt.
Cook on high for two minutes and turn off the heat.
Sprinkle the black and white sesame seeds and serve hot.
Notes
You can add veggies or tofu or even paneer and make it more colorful and healthy.
Instead of peanut butter, you can include sesame paste.
Adjust the sauces and spices as per your preference.
